LONDON: Indian origin psychiatrist Raj Persaud, known across Britain for his television and radio appearances, is dishonest and has brought disrepute to his profession by passing off other experts’ works as his own, the General Medical Council (GMC) has ruled.
Persaud, 45, on Thursday was found guilty by the GMC of using other academics’ material for articles published in newspapers and magazines as well as his 2003 book “From the Edge of the Couch”. He admitted plagiarism but denied that his actions were dishonest or could bring the profession into disrepute.
